..."In comparison with other metal protection strategies and encapsulation techniques, our concept of construction of metal protective system has significant advantages" Andreeva tells Nanowerk: "First, the capsule layer is adhered to the metal surface, thus, we can overcome the problem of homogeneous distribution of encapsulated active agents along the surface; second, our surface capsules are universal encapsulation system suitable for a wide range of compounds; and third, the surface capsule layer is friendly to traditional coating technologies (due to its roughness, surface composition, solvent and temperature resistant) providing excellent adhesion of the traditional coatings for metal protection"....
